About this property

The Brewhouse Cottage

The Brewhouse Cottage has a fascinating history, situated on the grounds of the Bayou Teche Brewery & the Cajun Saucer in Arnaudville La. It is approximately 400 sq foot and was built by a barge that floated down the Bayou Teche carrying goods to locals. The solid walls keep it peaceful and quiet, while the original wood floors add to its charm.

At the front of the cottage is a long porch with two Adirondack chairs, perfect for enjoying the music from the brewery while sipping a cold beverage. Across the street is Arts Coffee, the original brewery where the coffee is still roasted, and you may be able to enjoy its wonderful aroma from the porch.

Inside, you'll find a modern kitchen with a 3/4 sized refrigerator and two frozen glasses in the freezer. The dining area has two antique chairs, and we ask that you take care to preserve them. Please also refrain from frying foods inside the cottage as odors can be difficult to remove from such a small space. There is a barbecue pit on the porch that you can use instead.

The sitting area has two comfortable glider rockers for relaxing and watching TV on the wall mounted smart TV, with access to Dish Network, Netflix and Amazon. After a long day, enjoy a hot shower in the large walk-in shower and then slip into the cozy full-sized bed. The furniture has been specifically chosen for the size of the cottage, allowing you to move around comfortably and even have guests over.

We hope you'll love the Brewhouse Cottage as much as we do!

Great time and amazing house!

I really enjoyed the prompt and quick communication with the owner. Check in was an absolute breeze with no issues at all! The house is very well appointed and very well decorated! Plenty of room if you want to have family over to visit. Plus it's right next to the brewery and pizza place. Had a wonderful time. Would absolutely stay here again!

We loved staying in The Brewhouse Cottage! Being right across the lane from the brewery is wonderful, and the cabin was nice and quiet at night. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We’ll certainly be back!

Home Away From Home

Another great stay at my home away from home. I have stayed at the cottage several times throughout the last three years. It’s my go to when I need a place to escape the craziness of life. Rinea & Byron are the most amazing hosts. They go above and beyond to ensure that your time at the cottage is perfect. The brewery next door is a bonus. Great beer, food & atmosphere. This cottage will always be my home away from home. This time I shared it with a special person in my life and he absolutely loved it.

Fun place to stay

With its location across from Bayou Teche Brewery, it’s hard not to have fun while staying here. Cottage was small but plenty large enough for a couple. We enjoyed the front porch and country setting. Hosts were accommodating and prompt with check in, etc. Great place for a short get away.

Wonderful Stay!!

I hesitate to write this review because I want to keep this cottage a secret. I have stayed many places but have never felt more welcome or had a better equipped rental. Everyone I met was pleasant and helpful. The location is fantastic. You are located near restaurants and historic sites but why leave such a relaxing place with a brewery across the lane, a front porch to enjoy the view and the music, and a bayou at the end of the property. Looking forward to my next stay.

Wonderful Place

We had a wonderful time. Rinea greeted us when we arrived and she was super polite and showed us around. Was so relaxing sitting on the porch drinking the wonderful coffee they supply and listening to the birds. Having the Brewery right across the way along with The Cajun Saucer was wonderful. Beer and food were great. Would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice little getaway.

Another Fun Time at the Brew House

We stayed here for the second time to party with friends at Bayou Teche Brewing next door, and to enjoy the local restaurants. As always, this VRBO was clean, quaint, and comfortable. We had friends over and we sat on the front porch and listened to music from the brewery, and drank lots of beer! You can't go wrong with this place in the heart of Cajun Country!

Home away from home

This was my 4th stay at the cottage. When the world gets to be too much for me I head here…my home away from home. The location is so relaxing and quiet. I sit on the front porch with a cool breeze blowing at night and a cold drink in my hand reflecting on life and my worries disappear the minute I’m on that porch. I highly recommend this cottage. Bayou Teche Brewery is across serving up delicious food and cold brews. The town of Arnaudville is quaint and charming. Hosts Byron & Rinea are beyond AMAZING!!! They make sure that everything you need is provided and are only a phone call away…even only a few steps away at times next door at the brewery. I cannot wait to spend summers with my grandchild at the cottage.

A perfect place to stay!

I couldn't recommend it more. Ms. Rinea and Byron are such gracious and hospitable hosts. The cottage is comfy, cozy and beautifully decorated - and super clean, too! We loved sitting on the porch with some coffee (and in the evening, some whisky...) and watching the cats stroll around the yard. The pizza and beer across the way are delicious, and you can even get gelato for dessert! Yum! The bar closes at 9 on the weekend, and the cottage is far enough away from the restaurant that you don't need to worry about it being too loud - I was snoozing no problem! :) We're really looking forward to coming back soon, and hope to bring some friends!

Perfect spot for exploring Acadiana and Cajun culture!

I can't say enough about this great cabin! The cabin itself was cozy and comfortable, and Rinea had provided so many hospitable touches, from snacks and Christmas stockings to details about the cabin's history and the artwork. We loved sitting on the front porch and reading while we listened to the excellent music from the brewery across the way and listened to all the happy patrons. We enjoyed playing backgammon on one of the outdoor picnic tables at the brewery and sampling the great drinks and food. There were even selections for me, a non-beer drinker. We'll recommend this spot to friends who are kayakers who can use the boat launch just down the way. We enjoyed dining in Anaudville at the Big Little Cup and Myran's, doing the 5+ mile hike around beautiful Lake Martin, and canoeing in the Atchafalaya Basin with rental equipment from McGee's. We did a walking tour of the Vermilionville area of LaFayette which was very interesting. Unfortunately, because it was Monday many of the restaurants and shops were closed. I'd love to go back on a day when everything is in full swing. The weather was great for driving around the cane fields and bayous with the top down on our convertible, listening to Cajun music on KBON 101.1 on the radio. And everyone we met was so friendly. Thank you for a great getaway!
